Motley Crue's Neil building Las Vegas franchise

Motley Crue lead singer Vince Neil is bringing the AFL back to Las Vegas.

Neil has received approval from the league to "build a Las Vegas team from scratch," according to the Las Vegas Sun.

Two months ago, Neil became a minority owner of the Jacksonville Sharks. However, he has wanted to restart a team in Las Vegas. The Las Vegas Sting went 11-14 from 1994-95 and the Las Vegas Gladiators were 31-50 from 2003-07.

Neil reportedly wants to call his team the Las Vegas Outlaws.

Neil will not be the only member of a hard rock band to own an AFL team. Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley own the Los Angeles KISS.
